Affordable Housing Supply Chain Clarity Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill focuses on the interaction between domestic-content rules and affordable-housing assistance. HUD must complete, within 180 days, a review of how the Build America, Buy America Act applies to activities assisted under title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, the HOME Investment Partnerships Program authority. Within 90 days after finishing the review, HUD must issue updated guidance clarifying the rules, and within 270 days after enactment HUD must report the review results and guidance to the House Financial Services and Senate Banking committees.
Who Benefits and How
HOME program grantees, affordable housing developers, state housing agencies, local housing agencies, and construction suppliers benefit from clearer federal guidance on when domestic-content requirements apply to HOME-assisted activities. Domestic manufacturers may benefit if the guidance makes Buy America compliance easier to administer in housing projects.
Who Bears the Burden and How
HUD bears the main workload because it must review implementation, publish updated guidance, and report to two congressional committees on a set statutory timeline. HOME-assisted project sponsors may also face compliance changes once HUD clarifies the applicable domestic-content rules.
Key Provisions
- Requires HUD to review Build America, Buy America implementation for HOME Investment Partnerships Program activities within 180 days.
- Directs HUD to issue updated guidance clarifying how domestic-content requirements apply to HOME-assisted affordable housing activities.
- Requires HUD to report the review results and guidance to the House Financial Services and Senate Banking committees within 270 days.
